    Recently i was trying to call my friend and my mic wasn't working so i tried checking if it was on and it wasn't. I tried to turn it on and it said that it was not connected.

    realtek(R) audio - microphone not working

    thanks for your help
    ---

    however when i tried all the ways you listed my microphone still not working :<

    ---

    My laptop has two separate 3.5 jacks for speaker + microphone. However, the speaker jack can still operate the microphone if the headset has a built-in microphone (this is confirmed because I bought a used laptop)

    ---

    i don't know since when i've had this problem, because i usually use type-c port headphones, and it works fine. I recently switched to 3.5mm type headphones

    about my laptop having nahimic. i tried uninstall nahimic. then select input using realtek(R) audio microphone. however the microphone still doesn't work, so the problem I'm having is definitely not nahimic related

    Driver update shows the driver name (realtek high definition audio). but when restarting the laptop, the driver still shows the name realtek (r) audio.

    Is that really normal?

    realtek(R) audio - microphone not working

    Hi everybody.

    I'm having a problem with my microphone right now

    ---

    first, my device is MSI GL65 9SDK 254VN

    currently my audio driver is realtek(R) audio.

    however, the microphone on my laptop, as well as on my headset, is not working. when i check with device manager it says the drivers are working properly

    However, all laptop microphones as well as headphones using realtek(R) audio driver do not work, other types of headphones using other drivers work normally (tested with AKG samsung S20 headphones)

    ----

    and one more interesting thing. My laptop has 2 dedicated jacks for Speaker and microphone, if I use this type of separate microphone jack. my microphone works fine on realtek(R) audio driver.
    ----
    the ways I have tried are:

    - reinstall windows

    - update driver realtek(R) audio

    - uninstall and reinstall driver (R) audio

    => however all the ways are not working.
    ---
    I look forward to getting help from everyone. microphone not working greatly affect my study. Hope to be able to fix it soon. thank you everybody.

    sorry if my writing is difficult to understand, I'm pretty bad in english and have to use google translate
